If you are looking for a specific Honda car then going with a Honda car dealer should be your first stop. Even better going online and searching with many dealers will make finding the car of your dreams simple and quick. Using a specialist motoring website you can search for dealers that specialize in Honda cars and they will be listed together so that you can take the time to browse and see if they have what you want.
One of the best tools that a specialist website will offer is the search engine. Unlike a traditional search engine you can tailor your search based on many factors regarding cars. To start with when looking for a Honda car dealer online you should define how far you are willing to travel when it comes to looking at the vehicle and taking it for a test drive. Of course the wider the area then the bigger the chance of finding the right car for the right price, some websites will make this easy by listing counties to choose from.
Once you have been presented with a list of Honda dealers then clicking on the links will take you to the dealer page and from here you can start your search. For example if you are looking for a Honda Civic of a certain age, price and even colour then type your criteria in the box and you will be presented with cars matching this. To narrow down the choices you can then add more search criteria.
All listings for used cars should be accompanied by good clear photographs of the cars and depending on the dealer there will be several photos, which can give you an excellent overall view of the car. Of course more important is the actual listing, the wording describing the car. The wording should detail all the basics of the car including how many miles the vehicle has done, any service history, the asking price and the cars age. Hopefully the listing will then go on to mention any extras the car has and will point out both the good features of the car and the bad, if there are any.
Once you have found your ideal car you will of course want to go and take a look at it and here again a specialist website can be very useful prior to your going. They will give you many hints and tips on what to check while looking over the car and while buying your car from a Honda car dealer is safer than buying privately you still have to be careful. Also take into consideration what it will cost to tax and test the car and what the running costs will add up to along with the insurance. Also check online when it comes to options for the loan and make sure you can really afford to take it on. Once you are satisfied that you can afford the car then do not be afraid to haggle with the dealer over the price. The majority of dealers will knock off something, even if only a little from the asking price.
For Sale Car Dealer
You're ready to buy a new car and off you go to start visiting dealerships in your area. After looking at what seems like a million new cars, you finally find the one that you want. You go inside to set up your financing and while you're sitting there, the dealer suggests adding a paint protection treatment that maintains your car's glossy paint job. He promises that it will protect the paint from weather damage and can make this one time offer to you for a mere $1500.00 extra. You might think this is a good deal because certainly you want to make sure that your car continues to look as good as it does now. Before you sign on the dotted line, there are some things that you need to be aware of.
Costly paint protection systems from dealers are only costly to you. The dealers paid very little for them and jack up the price, depending on how much they think the prospective client may be willing to pay. This is why when you balk at the price, they offer to do you a favor and cut it in half. This might seem like a better deal but what you should consider that if he can offer to cut the price by 50%, he could've offered it to you at that price in the first place. This is already a hint at his dishonesty.
Now that you see that you are dealing with a person who has questionable ethics, your radar should be fully engaged. Common sense dictates that a business man is out to make a profit, usually a substantial one and uses you to obtain it. If he's cutting the price in half, he can usually go a whole lot lower. If you take a moment to read the fine print in the warranty for this "exceptional value" as he might put it, you will note that it's your responsibility to take the car in periodically, usually every 60 days, to have the protection renewed. Failure to do so will void the warranty and you just spent all that money for nothing. Dealers do this because they are playing the odds that most people are not going to bring the car in for all of the scheduled treatments. Things come up in life, people forget or they can't get the time off from work to take care of it. This puts the odds in the dealer's favor, so they get to sell paint protection plans and warrantees knowing that they will be getting paid for doing little or nothing.
There are many paint protection systems on the market that you can do yourself at your own leisure. They will cost little in comparison to what the dealers are offering to sell it for and you can be assured that you will get the same quality protection at a fraction of the cost.
After you have politely listened to your salesperson's spiel about why you just have to have this paint protection system, smile and say no. Take your car home, do some research and find a protection system you can use do and maintain yourself.
